This is hard because you committed to a restriction which obviously will hurt you a bit.
L1: Basically the Avs first line with a Drai instead of Mack, so I'm giving it an A but this is my best line behind
@Makaveli's or the ones I could put together on my own team yet. To get an A+ you really have to hit it out of the park and Landeskog I just think is better as 2W in this, but I like it and think this would suck to play against!
L2: Niceeeee line, I'm no Anders Lee fan but this is nasty man and will hurt other teams, it's as close to an A+ of a second line as you can get for me, with it only being an A because of Lee again, I just think there were better options but still a high A
L3: This lien is really causing me problems because I feel like it could be as high as an A- or as low as a B, so I'm splitting the difference and given it a B+ because I think Nino or Johansen would be better as depth on a teams 4th line for this, and yet it does look really good! So I'm conflicted and I'll go down the middle.
L4: This is just fun and funny, Johnson isn't the perfect 4C for this, neither was Johnsson with his season this year as 4LW, but Yama is fun and this is decent enough, I'd give it a B+ because of it's potential and it humours me.
D1: I'll be honest I think your D suffered the most from this and this isn't your ideal top pair for this kind of competition. Klefbom would ideally be on the 2nd pair or lower. I don't want to give it more than a B unfortunately.
D2: More like a 3rd pair but it'd do well in shut down minutes and would hurt some teams, it's more like a B+, your D just doesn't quite have the game breaker like some other.
D3: This third pair is one of my favourite third pairs for this, a nd is a solid A for me, much better!
G: Really good goaltending and it'll more than do, A
Overall: Your depth hurt a bit but it was mostly restriction based I feel like and I like it for what it is. I don't think it'll win but it should at least be in the top half depending who you run into in run 1, and it'll be hard to play against, better depth would likely push this into my group of favourites but for now it's a good A-, and I think you did awesome considering your restriction, great job!
